    We may never know if the guys who participated in the canceled reality show "Ready For Love" ever found the women of their dreams, but Eva Longoria, the show's executive producer, is making one thing clear: They didn’t find love with her.

    Rumors have been swirling that one of the show's bachelors, 34-year-old entrepreneur Ernesto Arguello, has been dating Longoria, 38, thanks in part to a Life & Style story that reported the two were spotted leaving Los Angeles International Airport and driving around L.A. together and even quoted a "source" who said they are indeed dating.

    Longoria took to Twitter on Monday to set the record straight …

    “WHAT?! AGAIN? Sorry guys, still not dating @ernestoarguello Who are these "sources"??” she wrote.

    And the actress's rep told omg! the same thing: “Eva and Ernesto are not dating."

  • Reese Witherspoon's previously squeaky-clean image took a bit of a hit this past weekend when news broke regarding her arrest for disorderly conduct following her husband Jim Toth's arrest on suspicion of DUI.

    As a result, the careful public relations process began Monday morning, when Witherspoon's rep issued a statement on her behalf.

    "Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say, I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. I have nothing but respect for the police and I'm very sorry for my behavior."


    "Omg! Insider" spoke on Monday with Howard Bragman, Chairman of Reputation.com and a long-time Hollywood public relations expert. Bragman thinks that Witherspoon has handled everything well so far, giving her an "A" grade on the PR front.

    "I thought it was fine," he explained. "#1 she took responsibility; #2, she didn't try and brush off anything; #3 she respected law enforcement; and #4, she bought herself some time by virtue of saying the fact that this case is still in the court system and [she] can't comment any further."

    Bragman adds that he thinks this is just a small speed bump in the road for Witherspoon and that she's going to recover just fine. He predicts we'll see her supporting law enforcement causes in the near future, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving. He thinks she also made the right decision to pull out of the junket Monday for her new film, "Mud," as not to distract attention away from the film. He thinks Toth has a bigger PR rehab job on his hands though, because an alleged DUI is much more serious than disorderly conduct.

    But it seems that the real PR battle might be taking place over whether or not what was written in the police report is accurate. Perhaps the part of the report that was most damaging to Witherspoon's reputation is when the officer wrote, "Mrs. Witherspoon asked, 'Do you know my name?' I answered, 'No, I don’t need to know your name.' I then added, 'right now.' Mrs. Witherspoon stated, 'You’re about to find out who I am.' I stated, 'I am not worried about you ma'am.'"

    This section reeked with the cliché of Hollywood entitlement -- a far cry from how most people would describe the quite beloved actress.

    "What an arrogant person she is," Elaine wrote in the comments section on omg!'s article.

    "Another Hollywood personality with an inflated view of her own importance," reader SE3.5 wrote.

    "Wow. She always seemed classier than that. I guess she's not," reader Wf wrote.

    A source close to Witherspoon told E! Online, "It wasn't like that," and that as she was being handcuffed Witherspoon asked, "Do you know my name?" as in, "Don't you need to know my name?" (For filling out the report.)

    "I think it really doesn't matter whether she actually said, 'Do you know who I am?' or not," Bragman continued. "The perception out there is that she said that at some point … I would even probably expect that the charges against her may be dropped, since they are relatively minor. She might do a slightly longer interview about this situation and clear it up. But I don't think it matters, I don't think it's worth dealing with right now."

    There's no doubt that Witherspoon is the archetype of a Type-A personality. In fact, that's even what she named her production company -- "Type A Productions." Bragman points out that, "From her behavior, we saw Reese's loyalty, asserting herself in the situation and standing by her man. These are generally considered noble things." Although she broke the law, in some ways, her fan base might understand this behavior as being in line with her personality.

    No matter the course of action, Witherspoon's arrest came as a shock to many. Many were left in disbelief, even though it's certainly possible for most people to understand that to err is human. Of course, maybe the best approach of all is to react with a sense of humor. That's the path "The Office" star Rainn Wilson took on Twitter, writing:

  • Ben Affleck (Wireimage)When you're an Oscar winner and you're making millions of dollars for every movie, the idea of living on only $1.50 a day probably seems impossible. But that's not stopping Ben Affleck, who has signed up to take the Live Below the Line challenge next week.

    That's right, for at least one full day, the big star will keep his food and drink costs below what many pay for just a 12-ounce can of soda. And it's all for a very good cause -- he'll be raising awareness and funds relating to extreme poverty for The Global Poverty Project, which, according to its website, aims to "increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action to see an end to extreme poverty." $1.50 is considered the accepted global figure to define the problem.

    Affleck is joined by Sophia Bush, Josh Groban, Debi Mazar, and Hunter Biden in this attempt to better understand the kind of hunger and difficulty faced by more than 1.4 billion people worldwide.

  • Reese Witherspoon's mugshot (Atlanta Police Department)Fans were shocked when news broke that Reese Witherspoon and her CAA agent husband, Jim Toth, were arrested early Friday morning. While Toth was booked for suspicion of DUI, Witherspoon managed to get herself into trouble for something no one saw coming — disorderly conduct.

    According to police reports, Witherspoon became agitated when Toth was given a field sobriety test. "Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say that she did not believe that I was a real police officer," the arresting officer said. "I told Mrs. Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet."

    She didn't listen. The "Devil's Knot" star continued her rant, asking, "Do you know my name?" When the officer said he didn't need to know her name, she stated, "You're about to find out who I am ... You are going to be on national news." Witherspoon also argued that she was a "U.S. citizen" and that she was allowed to "stand on American ground." Charming.

  • Reese Witherspoon and her agent husband Jim Toth were arrested and briefly jailed on Friday morning in Atlanta, Georgia, for disorderly conduct and suspicion of DUI, but, on Sunday, the 37-year-old actress seemed to have left her legal troubles behind, putting on a brave face for her first red carpet appearance since the arrest at the premiere of her film "Mud" in New York City.

    Witherspoon hit the red carpet solo in a simple little black dress with matching heels. While she managed to avoid reporters, she still sported that famous smile. Even though the brunette Oscar winner didn't speak about the matter at the event, later that evening she put out a statement, saying, "I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now, but I do want to say, I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said."

    According to the arresting officer, Reese asked if he knew who she was and told him "You are going to be on national news."

    A lawyer for both Witherspoon and her husband attended a hearing for the case early Monday morning. The court date for the couple is now set for May 27th. Check out the video to see the mother-of-three’s first post-arrest appearance. For more insight into both her arrest and appearance at the premiere, and be sure to tune in to "omg!
